Study of the amination of fatty alcohols catalyzed by Cu−Ni catalysts

Amination of fatty alcohols by hydrogenation and dehydrogenation catalysis is one of the main commercial processes for the production of dimethylalkylamines. The key factor in this process is the preparation of catalysts with high selectivity. A study of amination catalyzed by Cu−Ni catalysts supported on CaCO₃ is reported in this paper. Selectivity of the catalysts was adjustable by varying the ratio of Cu to Ni or by adding a third element (Zn or Mg). The promotion of catalyst selectivity was mainly attributable to the effect of the components on the reducibility of Ni²⁺ in the catalysts. Lower reducibility of Ni²⁻ led to higher catalyst selectivity.     

浅谈创业教育

按照《面向21世纪教育振兴行动计划》提出的目标，我国高等教育到2010年入学率接近15％，这个目标有可能提前实现；若按每年新出生人口为2000万计算，高等学校在校生规模将达到1500万，每年毕业生将在500万以上。面对这样沉重的就业压力，转变大学生毕业就是到社会上寻求工作岗位的就业观念，树立和加强创业教育，引导毕业生走自己的路，就显得有十分重要的特殊意义了。     

HT-730改性酚醛-丁腈胶粘剂的研制

对酚醛-丁腈胶粘剂进行改性，添加5．0％的硅烷偶联剂，改善了酚醛-丁腈胶粘剂的工艺性能，提高了粘接强度，特别是降低了酚醛-丁腈胶对环境湿度的敏感性。研制的HT-730胶在环境湿度90％时仍有很高的粘接强度，同时老化性能和适用期并没有受到影响。

Vinyl‐containing silicone resin as the crosslinking agent of heat‐curable silicone rubber

Heat‐curable silicone rubber (HCSR) was prepared by using vinyl‐containing silicone resin (VSR) as the crosslinking agent instead of polyvinylsilicone oil (C gum). Mechanical properties and crosslink density of the vulcanizates were measured. The results indicate that VSR is a good crosslinking agent for HCSR. The tensile strength, tearing strength, elongation at break, and hardness of the vulcanizate can reach 10.2 MPa, 29.1 kN/m, 720%, and 58 SHA, respectively. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Diterpene resin acids: Major active principles in tall oil against Variegated cutworm,Peridroma saucia (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Tall oil, a by-product of the kraft process for pulping softwood, has been shown to have insecticidal properties. In the present study, the active principles in tall oil against the variegated cutworm,Peridroma saucia Hübner, were investigated. GC-MS analysis showed that abietic, dehydroabietic, and isopimaric acids were major resin acid components of crude tall oil and depitched tall oil. When crude tall oil samples of differing resin acid composition were incorporated into artificial diet at a concentration of 2.0% fresh weight, they suppressed larval growth by 45–60% compared to controls. This suppression was significantly (P0.05) correlated with the equivalent contents of abietic, dehydroabietic, isopimaric, and total resin acids. These results were also evident from a diet choice test, showing that the second-instar larvae obviously selected diets with low levels of resin acids when different diets were randomly arranged in a Petri dish. Bioassays with pure resin acids (abietic, dehydroabietic, and isopimaric acids) demonstrated that all individual chemicals have similar bioactivity against this insect. Comparison of the bioactivities of depitched tall oil and an equivalent mixture of pure resin acids in thePeridroma chronic growth bioassay indicated that pure resin acids and depitched tall oil share a common mode of action to this insect. This study confirms that resin acids are major active principles in tall oil against the variegated cutworm, but other chemicals likely also contribute to the bioactivity of tall oil.     

Catalytic and inhibitory effects of dissolved Cd2+ on C3H8 electro-oxidation

Studies have been made of the effect of Cd²⁺ on the oxidation rate of C₃H₈ in 80% H₃PO₄ at 130 C on platinized Pt electrodes.Dissolved Cd²⁺ discharges, probably as Cd⁰, and forms a stable sub-monolayer on a Pt electrode at potentials as high as 0·5 V versus RHE. Although this Cd⁰ layer is apparently substantially desorbed in favor of adsorbed hydrocarbon, C₃H₈ adsorption is inhibited in its presence. C₃H₈ oxidation is also inhibited. However, the C₃H₈ oxidation rate is observed to increase under some circumstances, and this appears to be because Cd isabsorbed into the Pt lattice. Co-plating of Cd and Pt leads to an electrode which, once the excess Cd has been removed, appears to be stable, and which catalyses C₃H₈ oxidation by about a factor of three at 0·25 V. Above 0·3 V, this absorbed Cd somewhat inhibits C₃H₈ oxidation.
